  1. We might know it, but that's news to Fitterer, Rhule, Brady and Meyer who went out on the first day of FA and signed them both to decent contracts. You don't go after two veteran, ex-first round picks, that aggressively if you don't think they're the answer.
  2. Why is it stunning? The Jaguars have gone all-in on Lawrence. Any team that's interested in Minshew just has to bide their time - there's no way you're getting fair value for a guy that's never going to start for you. Either you let him go for a knockdown price or you let him sit as the backup QB all year.
  3. I get why some of you are in love with Fields - you're still not over Cam Newton and wanted Cam Newton .5. That's weird, but understandable. I don't understand why people seem to hate Rhule. He won 5 games last year (and made us a tough out in the rest) with, and I cannot emphasise this enough, a terrible roster. He's brought in back-to-back stellar Draft classes too. He gets criticised for being an inexperienced College coach. He gets criticised for following the lead of an experienced NFL HC that won 11 games last year and took his team to the Playoffs. He literally can't win.
  4. Jeremy Chinn, the true DROTY, covered up a lot of our deficiencies at LB last year. They're lining him up at S this year so the LB corps has taken a huge step backwards.
  5. 2001 - Morgan, Jenkins, Smith. Three All-Pros.
  6. He had a standing start and Carrie was going flat out. Still took 30 yards to track him down.
  7. That LB corps is disgusting and not in a good way.
  8. Bearing in mind Carter is a marginal NFL player, why wouldn't he start the veteran Whitehead? At the end of the day he benched him for his play - that's all you can ask for as a player who's behind a starter on the depth chart. Every job is legitimately up for grabs.
  9. He said that you can go to Ron and ask for advice because he 'played the game'. Rivera is a soft player's coach. Rhule is a hardass. I don't care if he likes Rivera more and neither does Rhule as long as he does his job.
  10. Why would they waste time installing a silent count when they're literally still teaching these guys the basics? It's two thrown-together units. Silent counts and game planning is what you do when the real bullets start flying.
  11. If Fisher makes the roster we're in trouble. He's not an NFL level athlete, unfortunately. The game isn't played in a phone booth anymore - he can't make up for his inability to go sideline-to-sideline with instincts / toughness / football IQ. NFL OCs would absolutely abuse him if he saw any action.
  12. It's a slight overreaction based on one Pre-season game, but it's trending towards Rhule bringing in back-to-back stellar Draft classes. He clearly can evaluate talent. He's not 'churned the QB room' because there's nothing to churn. He took a look at Ramsey in the rookie Mini-Camps and quickly dismissed him. I feel like Colonel Jessop: "Who you gonna bring in? Smith? [retired] RG3? McCown? Bortles? Finley?" Right now we NEED Walker (and Grier) because there isn't better out there.
  13. You're related to Walker, right?
  14. You could tell me he ran a 4.7 at his pro day and I wouldn't care. He routinely gets behind NFL defences. He's fast as fug.
  15. He's got a lot of Gross in him. Excellent feet, but not your prototypical dancing bear OT. Will have to learn to win ugly if he wants a starting job in the NFL.
  16. Here's a game note for you - those Carolina Blue jerseys should be our default.
  17. He has starting OT feet / athleticism, but it's always going to have to win ugly with that wingspan. AQM beat him in the first Q quite easily (Walker got the ball off, but was rushed). We'll see where Erving is at, but I could see Christensen being inserted into the starting lineup at some point this year and not relinquishing the spot.
  18. Evidently our 2s are better than theirs and their 3s are better than ours. Considering every single 3 will be employed doing something other than playing football by the time September rolls around I'm ok with that.
  19. I love how you've managed to bring it back to a Darnold criticism. Dude didn't even play today, but there's no rest for the wicked.
  20. Considering DJ Moore is a legit #1 WR that would be terrifying for the NFC South.
  21. He's a legit 4.4 guy - he's fast. Evidently the Colts have a few very fast DBs (if it wasn't the same guy that chased down Hubbard and Marshall, I'd have to check).
  22. I'd cut Walker tomorrow if we had any viable options. The two Colts backup QBs are way better than ours.
  23. Just watched the highlights - he definitely had a couple of "welcome to the NFL" moments today. On the spin move where he broke away for a long gainer that's a TD in the Big 12. Also he tried to hurdle someone later on and got body slammed. He'll learn - promising RB.
  24. Ramsey didn't even make it past rookie Mini-Camp. He's worse than Grier.
